API directly.
Fixes CVE-2015-3256, various memory corruption vulnerabilities in use of the
JavaScript interpreter, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.
Fixes CVE-2015-3255, a memory corruption vulnerability in handling duplicate
action IDs, possibly leading to local privilege escalation. Thanks to
Laurent Bigonville for reporting this issue.
Fixes CVE-2015-3218, which allowed any local user to crash polkitd. Thanks to
